background and aims. autogenous onlay bone grafting is a common procedure for alveolar ridge augmentation. it has been suggested that the amount of healed bone after this technique would be significantly less than the initial quantity. the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the various parameters influencing the outcome of ridge augmentation procedures. materials and me...

OBJECTIVES Non-vascularized iliac crest bone graft (NVIBG) is a known treatment option in mandibular reconstruction following jaw resection, but no documented review of patients treated with NVIBG exists for northern Nigeria. The experience and technique from a Nigerian tertiary hospital may serve as baseline data for comparison and improvement of practice for other institutions. MATERIALS AN...

Ameloblastoma is a locally aggressive and highly infiltrative tumor with high recurrence rate. Its multicystic form the recommended treatment resection safety margin, which results in significant facial defects esthetic functionals repercussions. Microvascular surgery revolutionized reconstruction of because these grafting techniques allow more satisfactory aesthetic functional restoration. Thi...

Gap arthroplasty and costochondral rib bone graft are commonly performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons to reconstruct the temporomandibular joint with ankylosis. However, unpredictable and unsatisfactory results such as re-ankylosis, growth disturbance, and facial asymmetry often occur. Even if the costochondral graft is successful, donor-site morbidity is inevitable. More recently, surgeo...

background and aims. plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) is a concentrated suspension of growth factors, which is used to promote periodontal tissue regeneration. the aim of this randomized, controlled, clinical trial was to evaluate of the treatment of grade ii mandibular molar furcation involvement using autogenous bone graft with and without prgf. materials and methods. in this double-blind...

Covering exposed roots becomes more and more difficult as the gingiva becomes thinner and the vestibule becomes more shallow. Also, the outcome becomes less predictable. In addition, where there is high frenal attachment or muscle pull, such as the mentalis muscle in the mandibular anterior region, secondary retraction of a coronally advanced flap will likely occur. Therefore, a transplanted co...
